“Without libraries, what do we have? We have no past and no future”
But unfortunately, our school libraries are not functioning properly. There are practically no readings or borrowing facilities. There is no whole-time staff for libraries. Moreover, there are not many big libraries in our society. The working hours of the existing libraries are very odd. They open when the people and the students are busy. They close in the evening when the people and the students have time to go there. Our government is not paying any special attention to libraries. Lack of funds is a major problem of the libraries. The government should remove these difficulties and make the libraries up-to-date.
